I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.

You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

None. When you make a profile it asks if you are interested in nsfw and I just left it unchecked. I'm not sure if that's the difference but I remembered getting flooded early on with porn until I unchecked that box in my profile.

The lemmynsfw.com content is always properly marked as nsfw, so that's definitely the difference. Only downside is you may be missing out on non-pornographic nsfw content, which is honestly not that common yet.

That's fair. I did leave it checked in case there was nsfw content that I would be missing but then I thought maybe it just meant instances that were nsfw? So I checked it off. I can try checking a post marked nsfw and see if I can still see it I suppose.

How often those non-porn nsfw posts appear on Lemmy? Is it often enough to justify enabling nsfw on your account while blocking lemmynsfw?

You can just also move to other instances that block Lemmynsfw.

They’re used for spoiler tags in sports subreddits a lot
